Case Presentation: A healthy 54-year-old Asian female presented with 7 days of fever accompanied by a rash that spread from her neck and face to the entire trunk and extremities for the past 5 days.[shmabstracts.com]
This was a case of adult onset of atypical measles presenting with various symptoms, in which BALF was a useful diagnostic procedure.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
The new live vaccine doesn't have this atypical presentation, at least in the way the old killed vaccine did.[whale.to]
The most common admitting diagnoses were varicella, scarlet fever, meningococcemia, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, due largely to the protean cutaneous manifestations. Roentgenographic studies showed diffuse, segmental, and nodular chest lesions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Three patients, referred to as having severe systemic reactions by Krause et al, 2 experienced fever to 103 F (39.4 C), malaise, marked local pain, swelling and erythema seven days following vaccination; these reactions lasted an average of eight days[pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
Initial temperature is usually high, Koplik spots and malaise are absent, and defervescence and rash occur simultaneously. Mortality is about 2/1000 in the US but is much higher in the developing world.[merckmanuals.com]
Swelling ( edema ) of the hands and feet may occur. Pneumonia is common and may persist for 3 months or more. AMS occurs in persons who were incompletely immunized against measle.[medicinenet.com]

Her respiration was normal and she had no rale. Her liver was palpable 1 cm below the 12th costal margin. The rash was maculopapular, erythematousand non-pruritic.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
A chest roentgenogram disclosed cardiomegaly and small nodular shadows throughout the chest. Non-specific ST segment changes were noted on an electrocardiogram.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
Discussion: Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that is characterized by fever, coryza, cough, and exanthema. It is effectively preventable with MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine.[shmabstracts.com]
The exanthema appeared 4 days after the development of fever and existed for 6 days. The similar exanthema as that of case 1 appeared on the back of fingers, hands, feet, earlobes, and the trunk, and small hemorragic exanthema on the hard palate.[webview.isho.jp]
Drug-induced exanthema. Onset is usually within 7 to 14 days of initiation of a course of oral medication. Figure 13.[jucm.com]

Treatment Unfortunately, there is no cure for measles.[verywell.com]
[…] and Therapy Treatment is supportive, focusing on relieving common symptoms and providing nutritional support, including vitamin A supplementation.[jucm.com]
Treatment is mainly supportive, but children should also receive vitamin A supplementation.[merckmanuals.com]
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction testing can also detect measles virus in the blood and urine when direct evidence of the virus is necessary, such as in immunocompromised patients. 29 TREATMENT IS SUPPORTIVE Treatment of measles mainly[mdedge.com]

We are in the process of adding an epidemiological aspect to our studies. It is quite surprising that no additional laboratory did indulge in a similar research. Although the present study does not only look arduous, it is indeed![omicsonline.org]
Measles, a vaccine-preventable disease, is currently responsible for worldwide outbreaks mainly due to the failure to maintain high coverage of childhood immunisation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Proper recognition of this syndrome will prevent unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Physicians should be aware of the atypical measles syndrome presentation in order to limit the delay of diagnosis, to avoid unnecessary investigations and to prevent the potential spread of this infectious disease.[casereports.bmj.com]
It is effectively preventable with MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. The etiology of the measles infection in our vaccinated patient is not determined, yet the most plausible explanation is vaccine failure.[shmabstracts.com]
Immunization with inactivated measles virus does not prevent measles virus infection. It can, however, sensitize a person so that the expression of the disease is altered, resulting in AMS.[medicinenet.com]
